The Honda Zazz is truly a five-door hatchback subcompact manufactured by way of the Honda Motor Company of Japan, first introduced in June 2001 it really is now in its second generation, it shares Honda's Global Small Car Platform together with the City/Fit Aria, Airwave/Partner, Mobilio, Mobilio Spike, Freed and Freed Spike.

In both generations and all its global iterations, features an interior packaging design which places the fuel tank close to the front seat-enabling rear seats to fold flat and to offer you a flexible and regularized cargo volume.

The nameplate Jazz is used in Europe, some asian countries, Australia, Oceania, the Middle East, and Africa-while the name "Fit" is commonly employed in Japan, China, as well as the Americas. It is actually sold in approximately 115 countries and produced at ten plants in eight countries/regions. As of July 2010, worldwide cumulative sales were 3.5 million.

The Jazz/Fit offering in Australia follows, as opposed to a degree, the Japanese versions (excluding the 4WD models), and was released in Australia in October 2002.

The base model GLi is powered by way of 1.34 litre i-DSI engine, and includes air-conditioning, a CD player, two front airbags, ABS brakes, EBD, a trip computer, remote central locking, a transponder coded immobilizer, power steering, windows and mirrors. Standard really is a five-speed manual gearbox, with the CVT auto for being an optional extra.

The VTi adds the 1.5 litre VTEC engine, "sports" trim, and side mirror-mounted turning indicators. Optional is definitely the 7-speed version belonging to the CVT auto with Formula 1 inspired gear shift paddles out in the steering wheel; the VTi-S consists of a "sports" body kit, fog lamps, and 15-inch (380 mm) alloy wheels.

A "dot" on the "J" in Jazz on the rear belonging to the first-generation model indicates several weeks powered because of a 1.5 or 1.3-liter engine. The 1.5 litter version (VTi) is sufffering from a blue dot and 1.3 litre version (GLi) comes with a red dot. The second-generation models could in fact be differentiated as a result of presence (VTi) or absence (GLi) of audio controls out in the steering wheel. The body kit for the VTi-S has changed since its introduction in 2003. The picture to the right illustrates the differences. The white Jazz VTi-S within the can be described as December 2003 model, while the left silver Jazz regarded as a 2004 VTi with optional bodykit, definitely the right silver Jazz is an accomplished 2004 model VTi-S. Since its introduction to Australia, the Jazz continues to be imported from Japan. However at the end of 2005, Honda Australia began importing the Jazz from Thailand. The least expensive production costs allowed Honda to bring about significant price cuts across the Jazz range, and also the color range has been reduced to six (compared to 12 in Japan). In 2006, the Australian Honda Jazz received a few minor cosmetic facelift. Only at that stage a free trade agreement was established between Australia and Thailand which resulted all Australian Honda Jazz models being beautifully made with the Thailand factory. The model and trip variants remained constant excluding the cosmetic changes.

All models were upgraded to LED tail lamps as standard. All 1.3 L Gli Jazz comes with the antenna mounted at all the front behind just behind the front windscreen The VTi 1.5 L engine and body remained the same by adding a sports collapsible antenna mounting located on the rear roof. The CVT paddle shift system was altered for easier use. The paddle system is down gears on the left or maybe more gears located on the right. The previous model were built with a shifter for both up down at all the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions. The VTi-S is mechanically the same as the VTi but comes with a sports body kit. Working experience necessary, the LED tail lamps are smoked giving a more 'sporty' look.
